In the belief that innovation and discovery occur in direct proportion to quality of training, the Life Sciences Research Foundation administers an international program of postdoctoral fellowships in all areas of the life sciences. Since it was established, in 1981, the Foundation has attracted support from a wide variety of sponsors. The mission of the Life Sciences Research Foundation (LSRF) is to establish partnerships between those who support research in the life sciences and academic institutions for their mutual benefit. The simple vehicle for achieving this partnership is a highly competitive postdoctoral fellowship program. Fellowship Eligibility. Three-year fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis to graduates of medical and graduate schools in the biological sciences holding M.D., Ph.D., D.V.M. or D.D.S. degrees. Awards will be based solely on the quality of the individual applicant''s previous accomplishments, and on the merit of the proposal for postdoctoral research. Persons doing a second postdoc are eligible only if they are transferring to a different supervisor''s laboratory and embarking on a new project not connected to their previous research. All U.S. citizens are eligible to apply with no geographic restriction on the laboratory of their choice. Foreign applicants will be eligible for study in U.S. laboratories. LSRF fellows must carry out their research at nonprofit institutions. LSRF fellows may change projects, laboratories, and/or institutions during the fellowship as long as the eligibility rules listed here are not violated. A person holding a faculty appointment is not eligible to apply for an LSRF fellowship. The LSRF solicits monies from industry, foundations and individuals to support postdoctoral fellowships in the life sciences. Active solicitation of funds continues, for which we need the assistance of all concerned individuals. We recognize that discoveries and the application of innovations in biology for the public''s good will depend upon the training and support of the highest quality young scientists in the very best research environments. LSRF awards fellowships across the spectrum of the life sciences: biochemistry; cell, developmental, molecular, plant, structural, organismic population and evolutionary biology; endocrinology; immunology; microbiology; neurobiology; physiology; virology. Note: There may be no more than one LSRF fellow in any one laboratory at a time.

http://www.chemnavigator.com/cnc/services/SCSORS_Overview.asp

ChemNavigator has extended its agreement with NCI to include the development of a new Semi-Custom Synthesis On-line Request System (SCSORS), funded mostly by NCI with additional financial support from the NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC). The new SCSORS project will provide the NIH access to the world''s supply of synthetic chemistry available for drug discovery. Once fully formed, SCSORS will provide a strategy for all NIH scientists to circulate requests for specific chemical samples among thousands, if not tens of thousands, of synthetic chemists at suppliers registered in the system. Sample quantities will range from milligram up to kilogram scale requests. Suppliers will be provided tools that allow them to review these requests and make proposals to NIH scientists for the synthesis of substances. It is expected that using the SCSORS strategy will allow the NIH to acquire chemical samples at less than 10% of the internal cost of synthesis while offering access to world wide chemical expertise and diversity. Once fully implemented, SCSORS will become an archive of commercially accessible custom chemistry products for pharmaceutical research. It is expected that this database of commercially accessible substances will grow to over 250 million substances in the coming two years.

http://www.broad.mit.edu/mammals/dog

The genome of the domesticated dog, a close evolutionary relation to human, is a powerful new tool for understanding the human genome. Comparison of the dog with human and other mammals reveals key information about the structure and evolution of genes and genomes. The unique breeding history of dogs, with their extraordinary behavioral and physical diversity, offers the opportunity to find important genes underlying diseases shared between dogs and humans, such as cancer, diabetes, and epilepsy. The Canine Genome Sequencing Project produced a high-quality draft sequence of a female boxer named Tasha. By comparing Tasha with many other breeds, the project also compiled a comprehensive set of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) useful in all dog breeds. These closely spaced genomic landmarks are critical for disease mapping. By comparing the dog, rodent, and human lineages, researchers at the Broad Institute uncovered exciting new information about human genes, their evolution, and the regulatory mechanisms governing their expression. Using SNPs, researchers describe the strikingly different haplotype structure in dog breeds compared with the entire dog population. In addition, they show that by understanding the patterns of variation in dog breeds, scientists can design powerful gene mapping experiments for complex diseases that are difficult to map in human populations. Contribute Although the astounding generosity of Eli and Edythe L. Broad and several other venture philanthropists empowers our scientists to tackle many of the most important problems at the cutting edge of genomic medicine, there are many other critical challenges that they cannot yet pursue because of limited resources. We need additional visionary partners to join the Broads and the Broad Institute in transforming medicine with the power of genomics.
